I found an upcoming Minecraft survival server that is going for a simple SMP vibe.
It looks like they are recruiting people to join before it starts so you can be there early and help shape the world.
If you want a basic SMP with a small upcoming community this one is trying to get going right now.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEternal SMP Chill Vanilla Survival

This is a small chill SMP that is all about survival and building cool stuff without drama. It is a simple vanilla style world and the players just want to relax and make bases farms and shops together.
The server is very anti grief. No griefing at all and no stealing and no lava grief. If you try it you get banned right away. The whole point is that you can build in peace and not have your stuff ruined.
Most people here like making epic bases mega farms and maybe a shopping district. Sometimes they do group projects and just hang out and talk and meme while they play. It feels like a tiny friend group not a giant random server.
There are usually a few players on in the evenings and weekends and they only want a small group of regulars. If you want lifesteal or chaos this is not it. If you just want to place blocks and chill with decent people this server fits that vibe.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPlayhouse SMP – Chill Adult Survival

Playhouse SMP is a small Minecraft server that feels really calm and not stressful at all. It is made for adults who like Minecraft but do not want it to feel like extra work.
The server is semi vanilla survival on Java with just a few simple quality of life tweaks like invisible item frames and player heads. These things help people build cool stuff but the game still feels like normal Minecraft.
Most players here are adults with jobs school kids and busy lives. Nobody expects you to be online every day. You can be gone for a week or more and when you come back your base is still there and people still remember you.
Some players like to build quiet cozy bases and work on long projects. Others run shops or help with community farms or join events when they have time. Both play styles are totally fine and welcome.
The server has been around since 2020 and is in Season 7 so it does not reset all the time. The community is pretty close and people remember each others names and keep talking over months instead of just a few days.
Most players are between 25 and 50 and come from different regions like Europe Asia and North America. They also use Discord to stay in touch even when they are not playing.
This server is for people who want Minecraft to fit around real life instead of feeling like you have to grind to keep up.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAfterHours SMP 18+ Relaxed Vanilla

AfterHours SMP is a Minecraft server for adults who just want to chill and play after a long day. It is a Java Edition server and everyone has to be 18 or older and whitelisted so the community feels safe and mature.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla but they use some Hermitcraft style datapacks that add small quality of life stuff. It still feels like classic Minecraft just a bit smoother and more fun. The vibe is calm and social and people are there to relax build and talk instead of rushing or sweating super hard.
The world is brand new and they are starting it all together on January 31. They are doing applications before launch so that a good group of players can hop in at the same time and share that first day experience. It sounds like a good place if you want a friendly community where you can build at your own pace and work with others.
If you like a creative and collaborative style and want a slow and comfy survival server with other adults this server seems like a really good fit.
